The method for testing car tire pressure is to use a tire pressure gauge or observe the dashboard to determine the tire pressure condition. The following are the effects of excessive tire pressure: 1. Impact on braking performance: The friction and adhesion of the tire will decrease, affecting braking performance. 2. Reduced comfort: It can cause steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort. 3. Decreased tire lifespan: It accelerates the localized wear of the tread pattern in the center of the tire, reducing its lifespan. 4. Impact on component lifespan: Increased body vibration indirectly affects the lifespan of other components.

Testing car tire pressure is quite simple. I usually just use a tire pressure gauge to get it done. First, park the car on level ground, preferably after it has cooled down for at least three hours, as tire temperature affects accuracy. For tools, I prefer a digital gauge—just remove each tire's valve cap, press the gauge onto the valve, and read the pressure; a manual one or the type found at gas stations works too. The standard pressure is usually listed on the driver's door frame or in the manual—for example, my car recommends 32 to 35 psi for both front and rear tires. Check all four tires, including the spare, to ensure consistent pressure. Underinflated tires waste fuel and affect handling, while overinflation increases the risk of a blowout. That’s why I make it a habit to check monthly—it saves money and keeps me safe.

Is There Any Damage to the Car When the Front Underbody Makes a Loud Clunking Sound?

If the front underbody makes a loud clunking sound, you should get out of the car to check for any fluid leakage. If there is no leakage and the car drives normally, the issue is not serious. However, if the underbody is severely impacted, a comprehensive underbody inspection is necessary, especially focusing on the front part of the vehicle, which includes the engine, transmission, oil pan, etc. Severe impacts may cause oil pan leakage, transmission damage, or abnormal noises in the drivetrain, leading to significant harm to the vehicle. After a severe underbody impact, if the oil pickup tube is damaged, affecting oil supply, the engine may produce abnormal noises (due to oil shortage). In such cases, do not continue driving; contact roadside assistance immediately. To prevent underbody impacts, you can take measures from two aspects: protective equipment and driving techniques. 1. Install underbody armor. 2. Install an engine guard. From a driving technique perspective, to protect the underbody, slow down when encountering speed bumps or rough roads, and always observe road conditions carefully when driving on unfamiliar routes, driving with caution.

Why does the BYD Qin keep making noise after turning off?

The reason why the BYD Qin keeps making noise after turning off is due to the slight deformation caused by thermal expansion and contraction of the exhaust pipe. When the vehicle is in motion, the exhaust pipe is continuously heated by the engine's combustion exhaust, reaching temperatures of several hundred degrees Celsius. After stopping the vehicle, the temperature of the exhaust pipe drops rapidly due to the good thermal conductivity of the metal material and the thin walls of the exhaust pipe, resulting in thermal contraction. The BYD Qin is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 1.5T engine and an electric motor, with a combined maximum output power of 295 horsepower and a peak torque of 479 Nm. The vehicle dimensions are 4740mm in length, 1770mm in width, and 1480mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2670mm. In terms of exterior design, the BYD Qin continues the concept car's design, with chrome decorations added to both sides of the front bumper and LED daytime running lights integrated into the headlights. For the interior, the BYD Qin features a dark upper and light lower color scheme, equipped with a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel and a large-sized display screen on the center console.

How to Check the Ticket Number If the Traffic Ticket Is Lost?

The methods to check the ticket number if the traffic ticket is lost are: 1. The vehicle owner can log in to the local traffic management bureau website or use the 12123 traffic management APP to check the ticket number. On the traffic management bureau website, the owner needs to enter the vehicle license plate number or the last four digits of the engine number for verification; 2. The owner can also call 114 to inquire by providing the owner's ID card or license plate number; 3. Some third-party service providers can also assist in checking, such as certain banks that offer ticket information inquiry services for vehicle owners. If the traffic ticket received by the owner is lost, it is recommended to handle it promptly. Do not assume that the ticket can be ignored just because it is lost. The traffic police department keeps a stub of the penalty notice. If the owner needs to retain a copy of the ticket as proof, they can visit the traffic police team that issued the penalty to obtain a photocopy of the ticket and pay the fine in time. If the owner fails to pay the fine by the date specified in the penalty decision, they will be liable for late payment fees, but the late fee amount will not exceed the original fine amount.

How Long Does It Take to Charge an Electric Vehicle?

Electric vehicles take 7 to 8 hours to charge. With fast charging, it can reach 70% to 80% in about half an hour, but the charging current is extremely high, which can damage the battery. Electric vehicles refer to automobiles that use electrical energy as a power source and are driven by electric motors, belonging to the category of new energy vehicles, including pure electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, and fuel cell electric vehicles. Pure electric vehicles are powered by electric motors, and compared to fuel-powered vehicles, the main differences lie in four major components: the drive motor, speed controller, power battery, and onboard charger. Fuel cell electric vehicles are powered by fuel cells as their power source.
